    Default How do I give myself an absurd advantage in an automatic battle

    For the third time in a game, I won a devastating "heroic" victory (7 survivors or so on the other side), and for the third time, the game crashed on reload after the battle. I don't know if it has a problem with "heroic" victory, or if it's because the battles were large and lasted for a long time, taxing the memory or whatever, but I'm tired of this crap.

    Note that it's three different battles.The first time the AI didn't want to attack me again, the second time it did, I could replay the battle, but I did so hastily and got a not very good result, and this time, as I said I'm tired and don't want to replay it again (especially since it might crash again). But I want my devastating victory back, damnit!.

    So, I intend to make it an auto-battle, but in this case, it won't be nearly as devastating, or maybe I will even lose. So, what are the cheats I could use to make sure that I utterly crush the opponent on auto-battle (I know about the code that make the next battle a win, but a mere win isn't good enough for me). Maybe editing the units so that they will be extra-powerful, or something like that?

    Thanks in advance. Also, is there a known heroic victory = crash to desktop bug, or am I just very unlucky?

    auto_win attacker/defender?

    I was once an Angel of Total War Heaven, but gave up my wings for a life on the sea of battle.

    Oh, that works every time.
    But sometimes, it will become a draw...

    I think that's just unlucky. You could take chariots, elephants, family members or Roman legionary troops if they're available to you. The calculator rates these units highly.

    The problem is that if it happens EARLY in the campaign, I don't really think Legionaries come out of nowhere (Except by the Senate)
    The calculator, by the way, is not really trustworthy...

    it's a pitty the auto_win cheat doesn't work properly in RTW, in M2TW I can beat a full stack with only a single FM using auto_win cheat without loosing more than 1-2 men
    Īnfrānt nu eşti atunci cānd sāngeri,
    nici ochii cānd īn lacrimi ţi-s.
    Adevăratele īnfrāngeri,
    sunt renunţările la vis.

    Note what units you have and what the enemy has. Open the EDU, find your unit types that the enemy doesn't share. Give them 10 hit points instead of 1 and restart the game.
    Autoresolve and see the enemy utterly vanquished.
    Get out of the game and bring the unit hitpoints back to normal
    get back in the game.
